Detailed Description

importer abstract class.

Date:
2000/12/10 20:08:40
Revision:
1.17

vtkImporter is an abstract class that specifies the protocol for importing actors, cameras, lights and properties into a vtkRenderWindow. The following takes place: 1) Create a RenderWindow and Renderer if none is provided. 2) Open the import file 3) Import the Actors 4) Import the cameras 5) Import the lights 6) Import the Properties 7) Close the import file

Subclasses optionally implement the ImportActors, ImportCameras, ImportLights and ImportProperties methods. An ImportBegin and ImportEnd can optionally be provided to perform Importer-specific initialization and termination. The Read method initiates the import process. If a RenderWindow is provided, its Renderer will contained the imported objects. If the RenderWindow has no Renderer, one is created. If no RenderWindow is provided, both a RenderWindow and Renderer will be created. Both the RenderWindow and Renderer can be accessed using Get methods.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkImporter::GetClassName   [virtual]
 

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkVRMLImporter, and vtk3DSImporter.

int vtkImporter::IsTypeOf const char *    type [static]
 

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkVRMLImporter, and vtk3DSImporter.

virtual int vtkImporter::IsA const char *    type [virtual]
 

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkVRMLImporter, and vtk3DSImporter.

vtkImporter* vtkImporter::SafeDownCast vtkObject   o [static]
 

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkVRMLImporter, and vtk3DSImporter.

void vtkImporter::PrintSelf ostream &    os,
vtkIndent    indent
[virtual]
 

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkVRMLImporter, and vtk3DSImporter.

virtual void vtkImporter::SetFileName const char *    [virtual]
 

Specify the name of the file to read.

virtual char* vtkImporter::GetFileName   [virtual]
 

virtual vtkRenderer* vtkImporter::GetRenderer   [virtual]
 

Get the renderer that contains the imported actors, cameras and lights.

virtual void vtkImporter::SetRenderWindow vtkRenderWindow   [virtual]
 

Set the vtkRenderWindow to contain the imported actors, cameras and lights, If no vtkRenderWindow is set, one will be created and can be obtained with the GetRenderWindow method. If the vtkRenderWindow has been specified, the first vtkRenderer it has will be used to import the objects. If the vtkRenderWindow has no Renderer, one will be created and can be accessed using GetRenderer.

virtual vtkRenderWindow* vtkImporter::GetRenderWindow   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkImporter::SetComputeNormals int    [virtual]
 

Set/Get the computation of normals. If on, imported geometry will be run through vtkPolyDataNormals.

virtual int vtkImporter::GetComputeNormals   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkImporter::ComputeNormalsOn   [virtual]
 

virtual void vtkImporter::ComputeNormalsOff   [virtual]
 

void vtkImporter::Read  
 

Import the actors, cameras, lights and properties into a vtkRenderWindow.

FILE* vtkImporter::GetFileFD   [inline]
 

Return the file pointer to the open file.
